9 IMLPs on a Quest for Good Waffles?

http://edholden.com | CC BY-NC 2.0Ok, so we don't work all the time... (We really must sound like work-a-holics.) Don't get me wrong, a job on the IMLP program does take a time commitment, but we need to have something fun to do in our spare time. So, for one weekend we decided to head up to Stowe, VT for some Spring Weather skiing and snowboarding.

For this trip we had IMLPs from a handful of GE businesses, including: NBC, Capital, and Corporate, coming from New York City, Crotonville (Corporate Training Facility), Albany, NY, Danbury, CT, and Stamford, CT. So, we all took a half day on Friday and started the long journey. I had forgotten how a 6 hour car ride can really fly by when you are surrounded by a group of your friends and laughing at the stupid things people do while driving (Here's to you, lady who was swerving from lane to lane as you read a book).

Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End

The events described bellow took place during the last week of Junior Bootcamp - week of August 3

 

And so begins the final stretch of four weeks known as Junior Bootcamp. With only five days left, a pot of mixed feelings started to brew among many of the new IMLP’s:

• Relieved, to be done with the month-long Junior Bootcamp session and survived
• Sadness, for not knowing when would be the next time we’ll see our newly – yet strongly – forged friendships
• Excited, to finally start our first rotation and put to the test all what he have learned at bootcamp
• Stressed, knowing that in just a few days we will have to present our final deliverables to upper-level GE managers

As the last week marches on, every group works furiously to complete their code as much as they can while other focused on updating the financials from the previous presentation or work on putting together the actual material that will be presented. With so much that needs to be done…we only had four days to complete all of this! (since Friday was the final presentation and ‘graduation’ ceremony).
